A Rose on a Crab AppIe Tree

In Mr.. Lewis O'Brion's garden on Con-
gress street, there is crab apple tree that
blossomed about ten weeks ago, just as crab
apple trees are wont to blossom in the spring
At present the fruit is formed and as large
as cranberry beans, But yesterday Mr.
O'Brion was astonished at discovering on the
tree blossom as large as rose. The usual
size of the blossom of the crab apple tree is
about that of the strawberry blossom. The
blossom which Mr.. O'Brion found yesterday
has individual petals each larger than one of
the entire blossoms which appear at the
usual time. The whole diameter of the
blossom is two and half inches. In vari-
GUS parts of the State blossoms of this sort
were found on fruit trees last year, and re-
garded as gre at curiosities wherever seen.

Salmon In the St. croIx

lCdlalS lnmeS.l
The season for fishing for salmon has
opened auspiciously on this river. Frank
Todd, ESQ.,, of st. Stephen, killed his second
fish on Saturday, thus doubly winning the
first laurels. The last salmon was a princely
fellow, weighing 25i pounds, and such were
his powers of resistance, it required an hour
and thirty-fve minutes to bring him to the
gait. Mr.. Todd rose a large fish on Friday
evening, but he was not securely hooked. and
the fly broke away after few minutes. Mon
day morning Col. A. E. Neill fastened to a
20-pounder, but lost him after half an hours
sport. Several other salmon have been
brought to the surface by other fishermen
since the advance couriers of the June run
have appeared. Yesterday the season opened
in earnest, Mr.. w. f. Todd capturing two
weighing respectively 164 and 14A pounds
he hooked third fish but failed to hold
him. He was only on the ground two or
three hours while making this brilliant
record. 1t is only scattering fish that have
been found so far, as only few have been
taken in the weirS and nets below. This in
dictates that when the run fairly commences
there will be fly fishing on this river beyond
all precedent. The casting has been done by
only two or three men in the morning and
evening, but scores of rodsmen are biding
their time, and in few days will line the
Maine shore from the Union dam to Indian
Rock, all engaged in enthusiastic endeaYOr
to get on the list of the successful.

Teachers Association,

After the report of the secretary, the
president introduced Prof II. E. Holt of
Boston, author of Normal Music Course,
who gave very interesting and profitable
lecture upon his method of teaching music
in the public schools. In his opening re-
marks he alluded to the progress that our
schools were making in the various
branches, and while advancement in the
matter of music should be as great and as
important as that of any other branch, yet
the fact remained that it was sadly neg
lected, or imperfectly taught. He then
proceeded to point out some of the defects.
The child should be taught in the first place
to think, for learning music is as much a
mental work as the performance of arith-
metical problems. The scale should be con-
sidered the unit of thought, and the child
should learn this as such, and later on the
parts of which it is composed. Instead of
wasting time in teaching pupils to sing diff
icult pieces by rote, as is too frequently
practiced at the present time, the teacher
should drill her pupils long and patiently on
the scale, since this, and this alone, will ac-
custom them to think quickly and correctly.
He then proceeded to explain more fully hew
he would have the teachers proceed with his
system, drilling them to considerable ex-
tent upon various musical charts.
After extending the speaker a vote of
thanks, the attention of the teachers was
called by President fash to the meetings of
the American Institute at Burlington, Vt,
and of the National Teachers Association
at Chicago. Fare over the Portland and
0gdensburg Railroad to Burlington, thence
to Chicago and return, giving an opportun-
ity to attend both meetings, will be fur
nished as low as by way of Boston direct.
